Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously grease a 9-x13-inch baking pan with butter.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Reduce the mixer speed to low, gradually add the flour, and beat just until combined. Stir in the pecans.

Step 4

Press the mixture into the greased baking pan to form a crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar at medium speed until smooth. Gently mix in half of the whipped topping.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Top with the chocolate pudding, followed by the vanilla pudding. Spread over the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle with the pecans and chocolate.

Step 7

Chill for at least 3 to 4 hours to let the layers set. Slice and enjoy.
